Therapists in Shoreline, WA

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT REQUESTS. I work with individuals and couples, with a special focus on couple counseling. I love helping people fall in love again. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, am highly effective with anxiety disorders, men's concerns, and trauma.

Deep, respectful understanding is one of the most important things to have from someone. I have found that when one receives this deep respect, great reservoirs of untapped strength are opened. Through it, I have seen people find hope, creativity, and happiness.

Congratulations! You have realized that you can't do it all yourself. I want to "walk" with you as you navigate the challenges of family, school, work, relationships, stress or transitions that you are facing. I have 20 years of experience supporting individuals, youth and families with anxiety, depression, transitions, grief, trauma and day-to-day stressors. I am a client centered therapist who is passionate about uncovering your strengths to help you achieve your goals.

I seek to create a space where all the different aspects of who you are may feel welcome. Compassion and trust are at the core of our work. Together, we will pay attention to the specific issue that brought you into counseling, as well as various aspects of your life and relationships. I love exploring the connection between the mind and the body, and for folks who are eager to explore this connection, I integrate counseling with BodyTalk (a biofeedback-based somatic modality).

I view therapy as a collaborative relationship. By providing a respectful, judgment-free atmosphere, I hope you will feel comfortable sharing the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are concerning to you. Through this cooperative and supportive process, my goal is that you will better understand and have compassion for yourself. It is my privilege to work with couples, individuals, and those in nontraditional relationships to help navigate life's challenges. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy and I use a variety of techniques from biological, psychosocial and spiritual perspectives.

Currently accepting new clients! Congratulations on taking a step in getting support. Are you feeling “crazy," isolated, or alone? Have you been putting off finding a therapist in hopes you will figure things out? Are you tired of the negative cycles in your life? Are you feeling that even though you did not create all your problems, you must solve or cope with them anyway? Are you wanting to get to the heart of the matter? Are you wanting to learn some communication tools and self-care strategies? You are not alone in the struggle to be human.

Do you often feel lonely? Do you feel depressed and that things will never change? Has some trauma kept you immobilized and in fear? Every person holds the answers to their issues and concerns deep within themselves. With my guidance, you'll examine the beliefs and emotions that keep you from listening to and acting on your inner wisdom. Learn to release anxiety, anger and resentment so that you can make healthy life choices. I create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment in which lasting change happens. Through awareness, you can learn to create a fulfilling life.

You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck or dissatisfied with some parts of your life. I am deeply invested in creating a therapeutic relationship that balances safety and connection with appropriate challenge. You can count on careful attention to your inner world as we explore the concerns that trouble you. I am genuine, warm, and collaborative. As someone who believes in the healing power of therapy, I absolutely believe that therapy will lead to more effective coping skills, a healthier relationship with your difficult emotions and for you to feel more connected to those close to you.

My therapy style blends the use of a compassionate, curious, and non-judgmental approach. I see clients that have a history of trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, codependency, emotional intimacy, and perfectionism issues. I help clients achieve freedom from compulsions, addictive behaviors, and limiting beliefs. I create a sacred and safe space for you to share your story with me and to be vulnerable in your therapy. You deserve to learn the skills to manage symptoms of emotional distress and build a peaceful and rewarding life.

No one has the blueprint for this becoming. Maybe life is overwhelming, you are struggling to start and finish tasks, or thinking you are not good enough. You notice that you are thinking is negative, you feel stressed often, have difficulty concentrating or focusing, and are not sure how to take the first steps to feel better. Maybe these challenges are impacting your well-being, relationships, work, or school. I provide therapy to empower my clients to tackle life with confidence. Clients see me to feel supported in their journey, learn new skills and tools, and tackle life with confidence.
